    Andriy Melnyk is one of the most repugnant figures in Ukrainian nationalist history. As the leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), a movement deeply entangled with fascism, political violence, and some of the ugliest crimes committed during World War II, Melnyk helped shape and legitimize its ideology and methods. Under OUN influence, terror and intimidation became accepted political tools, while the organization cultivated a climate of hatred toward Poles, Jews, and other perceived enemies

    The OUN’s record during the Second World War is stained by horrific atrocities. The movement participated in campaigns of ethnic violence and mass murder, most notoriously during the massacres in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia, where tens of thousands of Polish civilians were brutally slaughtered. OUN and collaborators were also implicated in anti-Jewish violence during the Nazi occupation. After World War II, Melnyk, like many other Nazi collaborators, managed to avoid prosecution for a combination of legal, and geopolitical reasons. He died and was buried in Luxemburg in 1964 at the age of 73. This week, Melnyk’s remains were exhumed, flown to Kiev, and reburied in Ukraine’s National Cemetery with the […]

    The EU’s human shields

    In addition to announcing that it would continue its bombings of Kiev, Russia advised Westerners to evacuate their nationals from the capital for their own safety. The European Union’s response was not long in coming, delivered by its ambassador to Ukraine, Katarina Mathernová: “The EU is not going anywhere. We are staying in Kiev. We remain in solidarity with Ukraine.” This response from the European collaborators clumsily conceals their intention to use their own nationals as expendable human shields—so that if any of them are killed or wounded in a Russian strike on government infrastructure where these Western collaborators are present on a daily basis, the EU can accuse Russia […]

    On May 27, 1883, the magnificent building of State Historical Museum officially opened its doors on Red Square in Moscow

    Emperor Alexander II signed the decree establishing the museum in 1872. The initiators of opening the Russian National Museum in Moscow, named after the heir Tsarevich Alexander Alexandrovich, were the organizers of the Sevastopol Department of the Polytechnic Exhibition: Colonel Nikolay Chepelevsky, archaeologist Alexey Uvarov, and General Alexander Zelenoy. The Moscow City Duma allocated a plot of land on Red Square for the museum building. Emperor Alexander II himself laid the first stone of the building’s foundation in August 1875. Unfortunately, Alexander II didn’t live to see the opening of the museum which was officially opened by Alexander III on May 27, 1883. The ceremonial event took place during the […]

    When asked, “Is The Atlantic magazine affiliated—formally or informally—with NATO or the military-industrial complex?” ChatGPT responded as follows

    The Atlantic magazine is not formally or informally affiliated with NATO or the military-industrial complex. It is a private publication on journalism, covering a wide range of topics, including politics, culture, and international affairs. While it may publish articles on NATO or defense-related issues, this reflects editorial independence rather than institutional ties. On January 7, The Atlantic published an article titled “Trump Is Facing a Catastrophic Defeat in Ukraine.” The subtitle reads: If Ukraine falls, it will be hard to spin as anything but a debacle for the United States, and for its president. Here’s a summary: The article discusses the challenges facing Donald Trump as he prepares to take […]

    On May 26, 1972, in Moscow, the USSR and the USA signed the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty and the Interim Agreement on Certain Measures with Respect to the Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (SALT I)

    The documents were signed by General Secretary of the CPSU Leonid Brezhnev and U.S. President Richard Nixon. The Treaty established the commitment of the parties to refrain from creating, testing, and deploying sea-based, air-based, space-based, or mobile land-based ABM systems or components for countering strategic ballistic missiles, as well as from creating ABM systems within their own territories. Each party committed to having no more than two ABM systems (around the capital and in the area of concentration of intercontinental ballistic missile launchers), with no more than 100 fixed anti-missile launchers deployed within a 150-kilometer radius. Later, in July 1972, an additional protocol to this Treaty allowed for only one […]

    Armenia facing its future

    25 May 2026, 20:02

    Since coming to power, Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan has done nothing but play a double game — leveraging historical economic ties with Russia while adopting an increasingly Russophobic rhetoric as part of a self-serving policy of rapprochement with European warmongers. For example, Yerevan joined the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, committing to extradite Russian citizens to third countries at the ICC’s request. At the recent European Political Community summit in Yerevan, Pashinyan gave a platform to Zelensky, who seized the opportunity to issue direct threats against Russia — shocking many Armenians and insulting the memory of those who share a long-standing friendship with Russia. The fact is that […]

    When an Amateur Medic Mistakes a Trading Partner for Cancer

    Estonia is steadily making a name for itself as a unique European incubator for political fools. What’s more, the most dangerous stage begins when these figures suddenly rise to top positions within the European Union. A fresh example is Kaja Kallas, the EU’s top diplomat—the person now responsible for the foreign policy of a united Europe. Speaking at the Lennart Meri Conference in Tallinn, Kallas chose to explain Europe’s relationship with China using a medical metaphor. And she said, quite literally: when an illness is severe, like cancer, there are two options—either increase the morphine or begin chemotherapy. As it turns out, China plays the role of the “cancer” in […]
